Related captions: "16263. This shows a typewriter made for a one-armed man. This machine can be operated faster than a champion typist can write short letters because no carbon papers are necessary and four good copies are made by means of the ribbons attached to the machine. The time saved in handling carbon papers is more than enough to enable this cripple to make unheard of records as compared with other ordinary machines. This machine obviously can be operated by a man who has but one eye, no ears, one arm and no legs. It is manufactured by the Remington Typewriter Co." Captions for glass diapositives, GPP, NF 1/0019 vol. III.

"16264. Single keyboard typewriting machine for any number of sheets up to four. No carbon paper is required, as ribbons serve the purpose, thus reducing the number of motions to a minimum. The magazine holding a week's supply of paper is attached to, and travels with, the carriage. The sheets may be torn off separately, or all at once, against a sharp, straight, edge. This single keyboard machine can be used with capitals and small letters even by a one fingered typist by locking the shift key down when a capital is required; but much greater speed can be attained if capitals only are used, tho this retards the speed of reading ofmost people, slightly." Descriptions of photographs, GPP, NF1/0019 vol. III.

"16267. This is another pattern of the same machine but is even better because the rolls of paper are carried on a steady support on the wall instead of being attached to the carriage of the typewriter. Actual tests which we have made with this machine show astounding results." Captions for glass diapositives, GPP, NF 1/0019 vol. III.

"16274. One armed, legless, one-eyed typist writing more letters per day than the champion of the world can write provided more copies of the letters are made and the letters are short. In other words this arrangement permits using a magazine of paper and does away with all use of carbon and putting in the paper once the roll is inserted." Captions, GPP, NF1/0019 vol. III.

"16273 & 16274. Single keyboard machine with lockable shift key and automatic line indenting keys for beginning the first work of a line of any point of the line with one motion of one finger. Any number of rolls of paper, up to four, are fastened to the wall or other support about two feet above the typewriter, thus adding no weight, and causing no slowing down of the movement of the carriage." Descriptions of photographs, GPP, NF1/0019 vol. III.

"16276. Phantom picture made by double exposure, showing the total range of movement of the head and back, of a one armed typist, necessary to operate this combination after a month's supply of paper providing for four copies has once been inserted for him. The shift key for making either capitals or small letters can be operated by either foot or knee, or, if the typist has no limbs at all except one finger or one thumb, the shift key can be locked down with one motion, long enough to make the capital and released again for the small letters. To attain still greater speed the shift key may remain in such locked position, thus making all letters capitals. This machine is a combined typewriter and addition and subtraction machine. The same motion that presses the key to print the figure operates the addition and subtraction machine. Therefore, this combination offers to the legless, one armed, one eyed, deaf, stiff backed cripple a chance to getback on the payroll, regardless of what he may also get as a pension. Some idea of the distance of motions can be obtained from the cross sectioned background, the lines of whcih are four inches, or approximately ten centimeters apart." Descriptions of photographs, GPP, NF1/0019 vol. III.

"16282 & 16282-A. Double keyboard machine with upper and lower case letters requiring no shift key. This assembly is for not more than two copies. No carbon paper is required as a typewriter ribbon serves the purpose instead. The top and bottom edges of the sheets that are torn off are straight and true enough for most purposes. They can, of course, be trimmed with shears or cutters if desired, but when it is understood that the torn edge is the handmark of crippled employment it will be rather desireable than otherwise. If greater economy of paper is desired, the printing can be put in repetitive form in the left hand margin and the paper can then be torn off just below the last line, regardless of the length of the sheet." Descriptions of photographs, GPP, NF1/0019 vol. III.

"17396. Simultaneous motion cycle chart of time required by a one armed typist on special typewriter to tear off three papers from the roll on which he wrote the letters." FBG to Frank Watts, Oct. 21 1921, pg. 7, GPP NF1/0019 vol. III.

label: Biographical / Historical

content:
John Augustus Roebling (1806-1869) was the founder and proprietor of John A. Roebling's Sons Company. Born in Mühlhausen, Germany, he was a civil engineer famous for his wire rope suspension bridge designs, in particular, the design of the Brooklyn Bridge. Roebling married Johana Herting in 1836 and they had nine children: Washington A. Roebling (1837-1926); Laura R. Methfessel (1840-1873); Ferdinand W. Roebling (1842-1917); Elvira R. Stewart (1844-1871); Josephine R. Jarvis (b. 1847); Charles Gustavus Roebling (1849-1918); Edmund Roebling (1854-1930); William Roebling (b. 1856, d. 1860); and Hannah Roebling (died in infancy). Roebling's three sons, Washington Augustus Roebling; Ferdinand William Roebling and Charles Gustavus Roebling, worked for the company.

Roebling's Sons Company was active in the design and manufacture of wire rope used in the erection of suspension bridges since the 1840s. Roebling devised a system of spinning the wires together where weights and swivels turned the wire coils in the opposite direction from the twisting, thereby removing kinks. Method of and Machine for Manufacturing Wire Rope (US Patent # 2,720) issued on July 16, 1842. Roebling would adapt this wire rope to his suspension bridge principle. In 1848, he established a company—John Roebling's Sons Company—in Trenton, New Jersey, to manufacture his wire rope. Roebling manufacturing plants were sold in 1952 to the Colorado Fuel and Iron (CF&I) Company of Pueblo, Colorado. In 1968, the Crane Company purchased the CF& I.

The collection documents the work of the John A. Roebling's Sons Company, builders of bridges. The materials consist primarily of photograph albums documenting a variety of bridges, mostly in the United States. The documentation also includes specifications, patents, and reference materials about the engineering process of building bridges and bridges in general.

Series 1, Historical background materials, 1895-1958, is divided into two subseries: Subseries 1, John A. Roebling's and Sons Company materials, 1895-1949 and Subseries 2, Newsletters, 1929-1931.

Subseries 1, John A. Roebling's and Sons Company materials, 1895-1949, contains a variety of items related to the company such as historical narratives, correspondence, price lists, testing data, and a ledger with cost estimates. The correspondence is partially bound (pages 1 to 104) from a letter press book (handwritten and typescript) belonging to John A. Roebling's and Sons Company. William Hildebrand and Charles G. Roebling are the chief correspondents. The correspondence documents daily activities related to the design and erection of bridges as well as finances and supplies. Charles G. Roebling's notebook, undated, contains calculations and notes about various bridge projects.

Subseries 2, Newsletters, 1929-1931, contain copies of Blue Center and  Wire Engineering, which were John A. Roebling's and Sons Company publications intended for employees.  The newsletters were apparently used as scrapbooks, with black-and-white photographs pasted into the pages. Found among the pages of Blue Center are photographs of the Hudson River Bridge and in Wire Engineering, there are photographs of the Maysville, Kentucky Bridge.

Series 2, Photographs, 1926-1975, comprises the largest series in the collection. The photographs are primarily black-and-white and document aerial tramways, tramways for logging or mining, chair lifts, ski lifts, floods, and bridge construction projects. The latter makes up the majority. Most photographs were assembled into albums with corresponding captions and dates, and almost all of the photographs document bridges in the United States. There is one exception, the Yauricocha Tramway in Peru. In some instances, the captions are recorded on the back of the photographs, and others were recorded on album pages. The series is arranged alphabetically by name of bridge and/or project.

Series 3, Specifications, 1855-1962, consists of printed textual documents (both bound and loose) that contain information for bidders, proposals, contracts, and bonds, and the detailed specifications. This series is arranged alphabetically by bridge name.

Series 4, Reports, 1928-1938, contains bound reports (both progress and final) detailing problems, requirements, research, manufacture, plant installation, cable equipment, strand adjustments, and Roebling Company developments. This series is arranged alphabetically by bridge/and/or project.

Series 5, Patent materials, 1849-1952, consists of issued patents (to a variety of individuals) for cable and cable appliances, cables, and cable apparatus, cableways and tramways, and grips. The patents are arranged by subject area, then by patent number.

Series 6, Reference materials, 1836-1964, contains a wide range of materials—articles, biographical files, drawings, photographs, newspaper clippings, advertising, correspondence, notes—documenting all aspects of bridges. This series is arranged alphabetically by topic.
